Stocking a Healthy Pantry on a Tight Wallet | Budget Grocery Haul

In this week’s grocery haul, join us as we share our journey of stocking up on nutritious, wholesome foods while trying to stick to a tight budget of $150 for a family of four adults. We ventured to Aldi, Sam’s Club, and Walmart to restock our pantry and freezer. Despite anticipating going over budget, we’ll reveal just how close we came to our estimated amount versus what we actually spent. Join us for practical tips and inspiration for budget-conscious grocery shopping!

I have canned mushrooms multiple times. My best piece of advice is to either quarter them or if you want sliced mushrooms, slice them thicker than you think you should. They come out with a better texture that way. 😊

I admire your attention to nutrients and organic foods. Apparently you keep your family very healthy❤

One of our local grocery stores had 8-oz packs of mushrooms for $.99 last month. I bought 5 of the 7 they had left. One went into spaghetti sauce and I canned the other 4 in half pint jars. I had seen Leisa over on Suttons Daze can a TON of them and followed her instructions She takes her 'shrooms seriously! 😂 They turned out great. I used one jar to make mushroom buttrer sauce with a steak. So good.

I’ve got a freezer full of venison. Need recipes because I can’t stand the stuff and soon I’ll have another one or three in the freezer 🤦‍♀️ Good job Tangy!

Love Lisa Bass/Farmhouse on Boone !! Glad to see you back, Tangie. ❤

[@cackl740]

I have been making Lisa's sour dough skillet for several years now. Def one of our favorite meals and it gives me an opportunity to clean out veggies, especially those I dont have enough to make a meal with

Tangi, Costco sells half n half that is organic cream and organic milk. Nothing added.

[@PathwaysHomestead]

Hello Tangi! Good to see y'all are doing well! Have a blessed week!

[@lisawilson5662]

Hello!! I hope you share the canning of the mushrooms I am intrigued by the thoughts of not paying the high price for the tiny cans. Thanks for sharing, Have a great week!

[@diaryofahomemaker]

We love dehydrating the mushrooms! So easy to store and we crunch them up and add to recipes. It gives such a rich depth of flavor!

[@freedomhomesteadky]

I may have to dehydrate these. My week suddenly got busy and my dreams of canning are getting delayed

[@lendawebb4909]

I would be very interested in the lentil soup recipe. I am very new to using lentils. Thank you :)

[@shellygallimore1496]

Could share how you cook your lentil soup sounds so good 😊

[@lisas321]

I am SO THANKFUL YOU ARE BACK! I know you needed time with family and life. It has to be rough! You are bf to so many though. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@bumblebee7922]

Oh Tangie, I ADORE Lentil soup!!! Split pea soup too, and most beans. YUM! Nice haul!!

[@meganross]

Just canned up those 99c mushrooms from Aldi yesterday! I got 15 packages and about 14 half pints. So each package will make a half pint in case you are wondering😊

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

Thank you Tangi!! I really need to check out Aldi! All we have are DGs and tates in our county. We have to leave the county to even go to a Walmart! Lol We have an Aldi about 30 mins away, just never go. I may have to make a trip and stock up once a month! Good idea 💡😊

[@homesteadingwithapurpose9681]

Your meal plan sounds delicious.

[@bonniedixon8172]

Ms Tangi,thank you for sharing.Appreciate you🌸

[@kathywills3244]

Strawberry jalapeño jam sounds yummy, I have made cranberry jalapeño jam it so good.

[@desertfamilyhomestead3127]

It is hard to keep the budget down and it seems to get harder every week.

[@betterlivingonabudget]

I enjoyed seeing your healthy on-budget grocery haul. Aldi is my main store as well. What do you think of the Sam's Club TP compared to 2-ply Northern or Charmin? It was fun looking at your menu, most of those items are things I make on the regular. Deer meat fajitas sound amazing!

[@freedomhomesteadky]

We used to only buy Charmin but the Sam’s TP measures up and the cost is way better!

[@normalopez2856]

Good morning

[@cocoabean321ify]

I'm curious....do yall have any plans for blueberry bushes??

[@freedomhomesteadky]

We don’t.

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

You had some great finds at the grocery store! Will you be doing a video when you do the jalapeño strawberry jam? If not, where did you find the recipe?

[@freedomhomesteadky]

I got the recipe from Cosmopolitan Cornbread

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

@@freedomhomesteadky great, thank you! Thank you, I think my husband will love this.

[@kathywills3244]

Hey Tangi have you ever pickled mushrooms?

[@freedomhomesteadky]

I haven’t.
